January 13, 2014 due to a fire that occurred on January 12, 2014 on the premise located at
129 W. 17th Avenue. He stated based on the information received by the City Clerk's Office
and pursuant to the Council's policy for inactive alcohol beverage licenses adopted on June
24, 2014, he filed a complaint against Ms. Savka for nonuse of alcohol license for a one
year period under Section 4-5 of the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code. He directed the
Council's attention to Exhibit 4 which was the portion of Chapter 125 of Wisconsin Statutes
related to the Council's role in the hearing and the City's role in the hearing. He also
directed the Council's attention to Exhibit 5; Section 4-5 of the City of Oshkosh Municipal
Code which also discussed the Council's role. He directed the Council's attention to Exhibit
6 which was the City Council Policy for inactive alcohol beverage licenses which the Council
adopted on June 24, 2014. He stated his role in the hearing was to be the official
complainant and bring the matter to the Council's attention.
Angela Joeckel, Deputy City Clerk, was sworn in by the City Clerk.
Angela Joeckel testified that she was the Deputy City Clerk for the City of Oshkosh and that
her duties included day to day administration of the City's alcohol beverage licensing
program including the duty of keeping the official records for the City of Oshkosh pertaining
to liquor licenses. She stated the official records kept by the City Clerk showed that Ms.
Gayle Savka was granted and issued through the City Clerk's Office a license for the
premise located at 129 W. 17th Avenue from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. She
stated she became aware that a fire occurred on the property on or about January 12, 2014,
and she later confirmed with Ms. Savka that due to the fire on the property, the business
was closed on January 13, 2014. She stated at license renewal time in 2014, Council had
requested Ms. Savka to appear before them with regard to the status of her property. She
stated Ms. Savka submitted a letter as to the status of her business at that time (Exhibit 7).
She stated Ms. Savka was granted a license for the premise located at 129 W. 17t" Avenue
for July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 (exhibit 8). She stated a letter was sent to Ms.
Savka on June 26, 2014 from the City Clerk informing Ms. Savka that a license had been
granted by the Common Council on June 10, 2014 and also informing Ms. Savka that City
Clerk records indicated that the premise had been closed in January, 2014, and that in
December, 2014 Ms. Savka would receive a letter informing her that she may be brought
before Council for revocation if the premise had not been reopened by that date (Exhibit 9).
She stated in order for a license to be issued by the City Clerk's Office it must be granted by
the Common Council and the premise must pass certain inspections including building,
health and fire. She stated the premise located at 129 W. 17th Avenue had not passed
building, health and fire inspections, therefore the license for the 2014-2015 year had not
been issued by the City Clerk's Office. She stated pursuant to the Council policy for inactive
alcohol beverage licenses adopted on June 24, 2014, the City Clerk sent a letter to Ms.
Savka on December 12, 2014, informing Ms. Savka that the Council would be made aware
that her license had not been used for one year by the January 13, 2015 date (Exhibit 10).
She stated the City Clerk's Office received a letter from Ms. Savka on December 16, 2014,

PROCEED/NGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— FEBRUARY�O, 2015
regarding the status of her plans (Exhibit 11). She stated as of February 10, 2015, the
2014-2015 alcohol beverage license for the premise located at 129 W. 17th Avenue had not
been issued and the business had not been open for business since January 13, 2014.
Lynn Lorenson, City Attorney, stated prior to the hearing, the City Attorney's Office
submitted to Council and Ms. Savka a copy of the exhibits sworn into testimony and asked
that Council formally accept those exhibits.
Gayle Savka was sworn in by the City Clerk and stated her residential address was 528
Grove Street, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, 54901.
Matt Vienola was sworn in by the City Clerk.
Gayle Savka testified that she had endured a long and difficult time to receive an insurance
settlement. She stated her insurance company settled her claim on January 23, 2015 and
that her construction plans had been sent to the State of Wisconsin and the City of Oshkosh
for approval. She stated Matt Vienola was her general contractor.
Mayor Tower asked Ms. Savka to describe what her plan was.
Ms. Savka stated her plan was to keep the front of the building and to construct an addition
on the back with a restaurant and kitchen. She stated there would apartments on the
second floor and that the blueprint of the building would essentially be what it was before
the fire although changes had to be made to prior the structure. She stated that Chet
Wesenberg was her architect. She stated the building would serve the same function as it
did prior to the fire minus the banquet hall.
Mayor Tower asked when Ms. Savka planned to open her business.
Ms. Savka stated when she would open for business depended on the contractor.
Matt Vienola testified that he signed a contract in October, 2014, to construct Ms. Savka's
building. He stated he had filed a Conditional Use Permit with the City due to the fact that
the building would house apartments on the second floor. He stated depending on the
weather he would like to start construction in March or April of 2015 and have it completed
by Fall. He estimated the project would take six to eight months to complete. He stated it
was possible that the bar could be up and running prior to the completion of the apartments.
Council Member Fitzgerald asked how many square feet the new facility had and what the
capacity would be.
Mr. Vienola stated the new building would fit the same blueprint as the prior building; the
size of the building would shrink a bit due to a patio being added to the blueprint. He
believed the square footage of the first floor would be approximately 4500 feet.
Council Member Fitzgerald asked when Mr. Vienola filed paperwork with the Inspections
Division.

PROCEED/NGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— FEBRUARY 1O, 2015
Mr. Vienola stated he submitted paperwork with the Inspections Division on January 23,
2015.
Council Member Herman asked if the business was in a residential area.
Mr. Vienola stated the neighborhood was mixed.
Council Member Herman asked how the property was zoned.
Mr. Vienola stated the property was zoned for commercial use and if the Conditional Use
Permit was granted it would be a mixed use. He stated the property was zoned properly for
the new building.
Ms. Lorenson suggested that Darryn Burich, Director of Planning Services, answer
questions regarding zoning.
Council Member Pech asked what the existing portion of the property was and what would
be newly constructed.
Mr. Vienola stated the front half of the building was the existing portion and the back portion
of the building that did not survive the fire would be reconstructed as a two story structure
with the second floor accommodating three two bedroom apartments and one single
bedroom apartment.
Council Member Cummings asked if there were apartments in the building destroyed by the
fire.
Mr. Vienola stated prior to the fire there was a second floor to the building but there were no
apartments. He stated adding apartments was the reason for applying for the Conditional
Use Permit.
Council Member Pech asked if the insurance claim for the fire had been settled.
Ms. Savka confirmed that the insurance claim for the fire had been settled.
Council Member Pech asked for the timeline of construction.
Mr. Vienola stated depending on the weather he could start as early as the end of February.
Darryn Burich, Director of Planning Services, was sworn in by the City Clerk.
Council Member Pech asked if adding apartments to the structure was suitable to the
zoning of the neighborhood.
Mr. Burich testified the Conditional Use Permit needed to go before the Plan Commission
and be approved by Council, however from a land use basis, a mixed used development
such as Ms. Savka's plan was not out of character with other land uses in the area. He
4
PROCEED/NGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— FEBRUARY 10, 2015
stated initially, without going through the Conditional Use Permit process, he did not have
any concerns with the land use.
Council Member Pech asked what the timeline was for the Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Burich stated he was unsure if the application for the Conditional Use Permit had been
submitted however he had conversations with the architect, Chet Wesnenberg and informed
him of the need for the Conditional Use Permit. He stated the project itself was currently in
the Site Plan Review process.
Mayor Tower asked when the insurance claim was settled.
Ms. Savka stated the insurance claim was settled in late December.
Council Member Herman asked if Ms. Savka had correspondence with the City Clerk's
Office during the 2014-2015 renewal process regarding the status of her property or if she
waited to be contacted by the City Clerk.
Ms. Savka stated she had stopped by the City Clerk's Office several times.
Council Member Herman asked if Ms. Savka kept the City Clerk apprised of the status of
her property.
Ms. Savka stated she was told by the City Clerk's Office that as a matter of record she
would receive a notice thirty days prior to January 12, 2015 regarding a revocation hearing.
She stated she had sent a letter to the City Clerk's Office updating the status of her
property. She stated the process to file and settle an insurance claim was lengthy and
unpleasant.
Council Member Herman stated had City staff and the Council been kept apprised of the
status of the property there might not have been a need for a revocation hearing.
Ms. Savka stated she had not received her architectural plans until January 23, 2015 and
prior to that she felt there was nothing for her to submit or report.
Mayor Tower asked the complainant to give a final statement.
Mr. Rohloff testified in closing, that Chapter 125 provides that the City may revoke a license
if the holder violated City Ordinance. He stated Section 4-5 of the Municipal Code required
licensees to conduct license related business; if license related business was not conducted
for a period of one year, the matter was brought before Council. He stated Ms. Savka was
in violation of Section 4-5 which precipitated the revocation hearing.
Mayor Tower asked Ms. Savka to give a final statement.
Ms. Savka stated she would begin reconstruction as soon as she was able.
Mayor Tower declared the public hearing closed.
5
PROCEED/NGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— FEBRUARY 10, 2015
Mayor Tower explained the deliberation process.
Council Member Fitzgerald stated he had seen evidence that the tavern owner was moving
forward with reconstruction plans and complying with what was promised. He stated he did
not see a reason to revoke the license.
Council Member Pech did not feel the license should be revoked and noted there would be
a follow up to the construction progress in June during the license renewal process.
Dave Praska, Assistant City Attorney, stated if the Council was going to ask the license
holder to come back before Council in June, they should inform City staff as the non
renewal of a license was a special process — different from placing the license on the
agenda to be renewed.
Mayor Tower stated most likely the Council would ask the license holder to come before the
Council in June to give a status update.
Council Member Pech requested the license holder to give the City periodic updates as to
the status of the construction of the new building.

MOTION: ADOPT (Pech; second, Allison-Aasby)
CARRIED: Ayes (7) Cummings, Pech, Herman, Allison-Aasby, Panske, Fitzgerald,
Mayor Tower
Tom Zilleges, 3815 Shorebird Court, stated he was affiliated with Zilleges Materials and felt
the special assessments for his property were too high. He stated between the special
assessments, storm water runoff and property taxes he would owe the City $100,000.00.
He stated he was contemplating moving his business outside of the City limits.
Anita Pemberton with Wisconsin MHP6, stated she felt storm sewer laterals should be
added to the project.
Steve Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works stated a new lifting station would replace
an existing lifting station on West Snell Road. He stated City staff would propose adding
storm sewer laterals beginning at Stearns Drive and running south and east on Snell Road.
He stated the project would be over what was currently budgeted in the Capital
Improvement Program; as a result City staff would be requesting additional funds be placed
into the Capital Improvement Program for 2016. He stated the City would hold off starting
the project until 2016. He stated the assessments to Mr. Zilleges' properties were for the
grading, graveling, and asphalt designed to adequately handle heavy truck traffic. He
stated commercial properties were assessed for 37.5 % of the cost of the road. He stated
per the City's Special Assessment Policy, the abutting properties paid 75% of the cost of the
6
PROCEED/NGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— FEBRUARY 10, 2015
road and the City paid the remaining 25%. He stated the City could not assess the
properties along the road that were not within the City limits. He stated residents along the
road would not be assessed where the road was in good condition and the City could simply
patch if needed.
Council Member Fitrgerald asked if the special assessments would occur in 2015 or 2016.
Mr. Gohde stated the assessments would not be calculated until after the project was
completed in 2016 and the property owner would most likely not see a bill until the year
2017.
Mayor Tower asked if the $100,000.00 estimate stated by Mr. Zilleges was true.
Mr. Gohde stated Mr. Zilleges' assessment costs were based on the previous year's
construction costs. He stated he did not foresee the estimate to be lowered based on
projected prices.
Dave Patek, Director of Public Works, stated Mr. Zilleges had two properties that would be
assessed for an estimated cost of$65,000.00.
Mr. Rohloff stated the $100,000.00 Mr. Zilleges referred to included property taxes.
Mr. Gohde clarified that the estimated special assessment total for Mr. Zilleges was
$65,000.00.
Council Member Herman asked what the projected total cost of the project would be.
Mr. Gohde stated the estimated cost of the project was $3,000,000.00 for the lift station and
$3,500,000.00 for the interceptor sewer pipe.
Council Member Herman asked if the area in the proposed resolution flooded during heavy
rain.
Mr. Gohde stated due to the area in the proposed resolution having extremely high ground
water, any leaks in the sanitary sewer system might pose a problem. He stated the driving
factor of the project was to redirect the flow of sewage west to the water treatment facility to
eliminate the sewage from backing up through the smaller system under Jackson Street.
Mayor Tower stated he felt the burden of the special assessments was high and asked if
there was an alternative solution.
Mr. Gohde explained that the special assessments were calculated according to the City's
Special Assessment Policy and that Mr. Zilleges had a large amount of street frontage.
Mr. Rohloff gave an example of a property that had 50 feet of frontage versus Mr. Zilleges'
property which had 1000 feet of frontage.
Council Member Herman asked at what rate the special assessments were calculated.
7
PROCEED/NGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL— FEBRUARY 1O, 2015
Mr. Gohde explained that the rates used to estimate the special assessments were the
construction cost rates from 2013.
Council Member Herman stated that even though the road work would not be completed
until 2015 Mr. Zilleges' special assessments would not be increased to the 2015 rate,
although if the 2015 construction rate was less it would reflect in the amount of the special
assessments.
Mr. Rohloff stated it was not uncommon for communities to develop a flat rate assessment
in order to inform property owners what they would owe for them.
Council Member Herman asked what the proposed area was zoned for.
Mr. Gohde stated the special assessment sheet indicated that of the properties listed, four
were listed as non residential and finro were listed as R-3/R-5.
Mr. Patek stated per the map of the proposed area, there were properties zoned for
commercial use, industrial use and residential use.
Mr. Burich reiterated that the area was zoned for commercial use, industrial use and
residential use.
Council Member Herman asked if the City had any plans to change the zoning in the
proposed area. He also wanted to know what the life expectancy was for the project.
Mr. Gohde stated the lift station was designed for a projection for fifty years of growth. He
stated the road was anticipated to last befinreen finrelve and fifteen years.
Council Member Herman asked if the City anticipated any issues with DNR for the project.
Mr. Gohde stated since the area had a roadside ditch and the project was a pipe installation
he was not anticipating a significant number of problems.
